Safety Messages for Installers and Service Personnel of

Warning Light Equipment

People’s lives depend on your proper installation and servicing

of Federal Signal products. It is important to read and follow all

instructions shipped with this product. Listed below are some other

important safety instructions and precautions you should follow:

Before Installation or Service

Qualiﬁcations

• To properly install or service this equipment, you must

have a good understanding of automotive mechanical and

electrical procedures and systems, along with proﬁciency

in the installation and service of safety warning equipment.

Always refer to the vehicle’s service manuals when performing

equipment installations on a vehicle.

Light Hazards

• To be an eective warning device, this product produces bright

light that can be hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a

close range. Do not stare directly into this lighting product at a

close range, or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.

• Do not install the light system in an area that would block,

impair, or blind the driver’s vision. Ensure that the light system is

mounted in a position that is outside the driver’s ﬁeld of vision,

so the driver can safely operate the vehicle.

• Federal Signal power supplies and light heads are designed

to work together as a system. Combining light heads and a

power supply from dierent manufacturers may reduce the

warning eectiveness of the lighting system and may damage

the components. Verify or test your combination to ensure

the system works together and meets federal, state and local

standards or guidelines.

Electrical Hazards

• Strobe systems present a shock hazard because they use high

voltage to operate. Do not handle strobe cables, the power

supply, or bulbs, or remove the lens while the equipment is

Installation and Maintenance Manual

LP800 Solaris Beacon

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

connected. Strobe systems can hold their charge even after

they have been turned o. After disconnecting power to the

unit, wait 5 minutes before handling any parts of the strobe

system.

• A light system is a high current system. For the system to

function properly, make a separate negative (–) connection and

positive (+) connection. Connect all negative connections to

the negative battery terminal and install a suitable fuse on the

positive battery terminal connection as close to the battery as

possible. Ensure that all wires and fuses are rated correctly to

handle the device and system amperage requirements.

• In order for the light head to function properly, make a separate

ground connection. If practical, connect to the negative battery

terminal. At a minimum, attach to a solid metal body or chassis

part that provides an eective ground path as long as the

equipment is to be used.

• Never attempt to install aftermarket equipment that connects

to the vehicle wiring without reviewing a vehicle wiring

diagram available from the vehicle manufacturer. Ensure that

your installation will not aect vehicle operation or mandated

safety functions or circuits. Always check the vehicle for proper

operation after installation.

• The lighting system components, especially light bulbs, strobe

tubes, LEDs, and the outer housing, get hot during operation.

Disconnect power to the system and allow the system to cool

down before handling any components of the system.

• Do not mount a radio antenna within 18 inches (45.7 cm) of the

lighting system. Placing the antenna too close to the lighting

system could cause the lighting system to malfunction or be

damaged by strong radio ﬁelds. Mounting the antenna too close

to the lighting system may also cause the radio noise emitted

from the lighting system to interfere with the reception of the

radio transmitter and reduce radio reception.

• Do not attempt to wash any unsealed electrical device while it is

connected to its power source.

Installation and Maintenance Manual

LP800 Solaris Beacon

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

During Installation and Service

• DO NOT get metal shavings inside the product. Metal shavings

in the product can cause the system to fail. If drilling must be

done near the unit, place an ESD-approved cover over the unit.

Inspect the unit after mounting to be sure there are no shavings

present in or near the unit.

• DO NOT connect this system to the vehicle battery until

ALL other electrical connections are made, mounting of all

components is complete, and you have veriﬁed that no shorts

exist. If the wiring is shorted to the vehicle body or frame, high

current conductors can cause hazardous sparks, resulting in

electrical ﬁres or ﬂying molten metal.

• DO NOT install equipment or route wiring (or the plug-in cord) in

the deployment path of an airbag.

• If a vehicle seat is temporarily removed, verify with the vehicle

manufacturer if the seat needs to be recalibrated for proper

airbag deployment.

• Before mounting any components, check the manual to make

sure that the component you are installing is suitable for use in

that area of the vehicle. Many components are not suitable for

use in the engine compartment or other extreme environmental

exposure areas.

• Before drilling into a vehicle structure, ensure that both sides

of the surface are clear of anything that could be damaged.

Remove all burrs from drilled holes. To prevent electrical shorts,

grommet all drilled holes through which wires pass. Ensure

that the mounting screws do not cause electrical or mechanical

damage to the vehicle.

• Refer to the manual packed with the lighting system for proper

electrical connections, additional precautions and information.

• Because vehicle roof construction and driving conditions vary,

do not drive a vehicle with a magnetically mounted warning

light installed. The light could ﬂy o the vehicle, causing injury

or damage. Repair of damage incurred because of ignoring this

warning shall be the sole responsibility of the user.

Installation and Maintenance Manual

LP800 Solaris Beacon

Federal Signal www.fedsig.com

• Locate the light system controls so the VEHICLE and

CONTROLS can be operated safely under all driving conditions.

After Installation or Service

• After installation, test the light system to ensure that it is

operating properly.

• Test all vehicle functions, including horn operation, vehicle

safety functions and vehicle light systems, to ensure proper

operation. Ensure that the installation has not aected the

vehicle operation or changed any vehicle safety function or

circuit.

• Scratched or dull reﬂectors, mirrors or lenses reduces the

eectiveness of the lighting system. Avoid heavy pressure and

use of caustic or petroleum-based products when cleaning the

lighting system. Replace any optical components that may have

been scratched or crazed during system installation.

• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate the light system

controls while driving in a hazardous situation.

• Frequently inspect the light system to ensure that it is operating

properly and is securely attached to the vehicle.

• After installation and testing are complete, provide a copy

of these instructions to instructional sta and all operating

personnel.

• File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when

maintaining and/or re-installing the product.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result

in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Installation and Maintenance Manual

LP800 Solaris Beacon

Permanently Mounting the Beacon

LIGHT HAZARD: To be an eective warning device, an emergency

warning system produces bright light that can be hazardous to your

eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into

this lighting product at a close range, or permanent damage to your

eyesight may occur.

To permanently mount the beacon:

1. Using the dimensions shown in Figure 7 on page 19, scribe

the locations of the three mounting holes and hole for the

cable.

DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: When drilling holes, check the area

you are drilling into to ensure that you do not damage vehicle

components while drilling. All drilled holes should be deburred,

and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings going

through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or

convolute/split loom tubing.

2. Drill three 9/32-inch (7 mm) holes at the scribed mounting hole

locations. Drill one 25/64-inch (10 mm) hole at the scribed hole

for the cable.
